Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery
Laparoscopic hernia surgery, also known as minimally invasive or keyhole hernia surgery, is a medical procedure used to repair hernias. Hernias occur when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. The most common types of hernias that can be treated with laparoscopic surgery include inguinal hernias (located in the groin), umbilical hernias (around the belly button), and ventral hernias (in the abdominal wall).
We, at Varanasi Hospital, offer scar-less, painless, and bloodless solutions to cure a hernia. We are equipped with advanced and updated tools to practice the most recommended, laparoscopic hernia surgery in Varanasi. During this surgery, 3 tiny (5mm) incisions are made in the abdominal area of the patient for executing the surgical procedure.
What is a hernia?
A hernia is a medical condition that occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot or tear in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. This can result in a noticeable lump or bulge under the skin. Hernias can develop in various areas of the body, but the most common types of hernias occur in the abdominal region.
What are the different types of hernia?
The different types of hernias are –
- Inguinal Hernia: This is the most common type of hernia in men and it occurs in the groin area. It happens when a portion of the intestine or abdominal fat pushes through the inguinal canal, a passageway in the abdominal wall.
- Femoral Hernia: This type of hernia also occurs in the groin but is more common in women. It happens when tissue protrudes into the femoral canal, a space near the upper thigh.
- Umbilical Hernia: It occurs when a part of the intestine or abdominal tissue pushes through the abdominal wall near the umbilical region. Umbilical hernias are more common in infants but can also affect adults.
- Incisional Hernia: These hernias develop at the site of a previous surgical incision. Weakness in the surgical scar tissue can allow organs or tissue to protrude through.
- Hiatal Hernia: This happens when a portion of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm (the muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen) and into the chest cavity.
- Ventral Hernia: These hernias occur in the abdominal wall and can happen at various locations. They may result from weaknesses in the abdominal muscles or from a prior surgical incision.
What are the signs or symptoms of a hernia?
The symptoms of a hernia may differ individually. However, the common symptoms of a hernia include
- A visible lump of bulge in the abdomen
- Pain in the abdomen or groin area
- A feeling of heaviness in the abdominal area
- Constipation
- Nausea and vomiting
How long does it take to recover from laparoscopic hernia surgery?
Since it is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, discomfort after laparoscopic hernia surgery goes away in a few days only. For that, a patient has to follow the postoperative instructions of the laparoscopic hernia surgeon.
Is laparoscopic hernia surgery safe to undergo?
The laparoscopic procedure is generally considered safe and is a widely accepted approach for repairing certain types of hernias. However, like any surgical procedure, it carries some inherent risks, and the safety of the surgery depends on several factors, including the patient’s overall health, the specific type and size of the hernia, and the skill and experience of the surgeon and the surgical team.
